7 Rappers Who Could Be Future Kings Of New York
However far outside the city or inside the culture you are, the average music fan understands New York City's DNA is rife with hip-hop. Trinidad James, too. Even though he took aim at the hip-hop mecca last week (with flagrant AK-ammo, might we add), he recognizes the royal apple for what it'll always be – legendary. “This is to let the city of New York know that, no, I was not trying to disrespect you at all,” he later said in a video, er, semi-apology.

God On Yeezus: Charlamagne Talks Challenging Kanye On The Breakfast Club .
Radio jock Charlamagne Tha God gives the backstory on his epic on-air conversation with Kanye West
For the Kanye West obsessive, Thanksgiving arrived a few days early. After illuminating New York City brighter than its normal holiday wattage with his “Yeezus Tour”––two shows each at Barclays and Madison Square Garden––Kim Kardashian’s better half capped his Big Apple exhibitions with a 48-hour press run that appeared as dizzying in route as it was on-air. The impassioned and often enigmatic rap artist stopped by terrestrial stations like Z100 and satellite kings such as Sirius. His interviews ran a monopoly on Internet headlines. There was breaking news (the Yeezys fart Air; Ye inks new shoe deal with Adidas), new info on old news (West chose Jay-Z over Dame Dash to learn how to be nice), a litany of poppycock quotables (“Me and Don C got people wearing Jordans”), and an expected spazz on an unexpected target (Sway Calloway).

Report: Kanye West Adidas Deal Cost $10 Million, Plus Royalties
Look up a pair of Air Yeezy's on eBay and prices range from $300 to $3000. It's fair to say that there are people out there that would pay an arm and a leg for a pair of West's sneaker collaboration with Nike, but it's the end of the line for Air Yeezys, at least for now.
West has allegedly inked a new deal with Nike rival Adidas. According to the New York Post's Page Six, the deal was worth $10 million and West will receive royalties for each pair that sells.
Take A Look At An Adolescent Kanye West In China [Photo] .
After a week full of rant and spazz-filled shenanigans, we all can appreciate a bit of vintage Ye. An adorable photo of a young Kanye West has made its way to the 'net thanks to a RapGenius and Kanye To The user named Frak. In the photo, young Ye sits on a bridge in China beside an older couple. Frak gave a little bit more insight on the making of the rare photo:
"This is crazy. My dad is an astronomy professor, and we just had dinner with his astronomy advisor from Harvard. He asked what I was into and I told him about my ventures into hip-hop (I’m a rapper/producer). He asked if I knew about Kanye West, and obviously being a Ye stan I kept my cool and told him yes. He then told me that him and Donda West were good friends and co-teachers in China, and he got to spend a great deal of time playing with Kanye as a kid. Out of nowhere he whips out this picture and my jaw-drops. He said Kanye was a really sweet kid who wasn’t afraid to speak to adults and ask questions."
Whether Mr. West intended for the image to be floating around or not, this is a sweet find.

More Than 10,000 Feared Dead In Philippines
One of the worst storms ever recorded hit the Philippines on Friday (November 8). As many as 10, 000 are believed to be dead with more expected once emergency crews are able to reach areas cut off by flooding and landslides. Corpses were seen hanging from tree branches and scattered among sidewalks. Haiyan hit the eastern seaboard of the Philippine archipelago and quickly spread across its central islands before exiting into the South China Sea, packing winds of 147 miles per hour that gusted up to 170 mph.
The storm also caused sea waters to rise 20 feet. “All systems, all vestiges of modern living—communications, power, water—all are down,” Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said after visiting Tacloban on Saturday. “There is no way to communicate with the people.”

Daft Punk Wins Innovator Of The Year Award
The French duo Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, better known as Daft Punk, have had a crazy year with the release of their fourth studio album Random Access Memories and one of the biggest tracks of the year ‘Get Lucky’. So it’s no wonder they were named The Wall Street Journal Magazine’s Innovator of the Year.
The mysterious pair were shot by photographer to the stars Terry Richardson with supermodel Gisele Bundchen for their WSJ. Magazine feature rocking their signature helmets. When creating the biggest album of their twenty year career, Random Access Memories, they set out to create music that was timeless, similar to the mammoth records of the 1970/80s that still live on today. Their creative process had no limits in regards to budget and deadlines and despite this album straying from their trademark sound, the risk definitely paid off. Hits like ‘Get Lucky’, with its endless remixes are definitely not going anywhere anytime soon.
Check out the video for Daft Punk's monster hit 'Get Lucky' featuring Pharrell Williams below.

Beyoncé 'Wouldn't Audition' For Disney Movie Role
No one knows the definition of a female hustler better than Beyoncé but the "Diva" singer may have exercised her right to stunt while trying to snag a part in a Walt Disney film.
Jen Rudin, who has had face-time with everyone in Hollywood from William Shatner to Rosie O'Donnell, penned the book Confessions of a Casting Director, revealing that while working on The Princess and the Frog, Bey allegedly skipped step one.
“Beyoncé expected an offer, but wouldn’t audition and so she didn’t get one,” Rudin says of the leading lady Tiana. “Tyra Banks, Jennifer Hudson wanted it. Alicia Keys auditioned three times . . . They had to sing, so we made it clear they needed sheet music. Tyra came in with a CD, but it didn’t matter because she was so pretty and nice. It went to Anika Noni Rose, who was the most qualified.”
Bey didn't take the loss lying down. After being rejected the princess role, she ended up voicing Queen Tara in the 3D animated flick Epic...naturally.

"I growed up," he said in a recent encounter with TMZ at the airport at Los Angeles International Airport Saturday night.
After dipping in and out of jail, the 18-year-old will also be headed to rehab and has been sentenced to 60 hours of community service at an equestrian center, dealing with people with disabilities and horse manure.
The "I Don't Like" rapper has kept silent about his misdeeds till now though back in February, his manager Dro Manuel said serving time in juvenile detention opened his eyes.
"I think he’s gonna come out a different person," Dro explained to the Best of Both Offices. "I think he’s gonna come out with some new music, a new attitude."

Mars, who will perform during the Super Bowl halftime show in February, also hit the EMAs stage to perform his new single "Gorilla." You could say he wasn't alone. Donning aviator sunglasses and looking like the late Lou Reed, Mars strummed his guitar alongside a pole dancer. It was part Prince-inspired, part Rihanna's "Pour It Up" music video.
Eminem Honored With Icon Award, Performs New Songs At MTV EMAs
With hip-hop jumping on the rap crowns and title left and right recently, the MTV Europe Music Awards took things into their hands and honored Eminem with their Global Icon Award on Sunday (Nov. 10) night from Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome. Marshall Mathers was on-hand to accept the award along with the Best Hip-Hop trophy.
